174 RESURRECTION (Explains the Passage on page 231 of the Gleanings)
"`From it (the earth) have We created you', etc., this is a verse from the Qur'an and the quotation mark has been wrongly omitted from the text and should be added after `time'. Baha'u'llah in quoting this passage seeks to refute the argument of the Muslims, who attach a purely literal interpretation to this verse of the Qur'an, and therefore consider it as implying bodily resurrection. To these Muslims, He says, that you who literally believe that the human body will return to dust and will be raised from it again, and therefore attach so much importance to this mortal world, how then can you wax so proud, and boast over things which are but perishable and consequently void of any true and lasting value." (65:2)
